Then:

Drummer in HotSpitt and all around nice guy. The thing that was truly special about the band was that  not only were they all extremely talented musicians, but the band as a whole had a unique personality.

Kenny:

"... in 78, I played drums for a show group called Rock and Roll Heaven which included 5 impersonators of  dead  rock stars. We toured across the country, played  the Vegas, Tahoe, Reno circuit, appeared on Good Morning  America& the Tom Snyder Show and  then disbanded.

"Rather than return to Dayton, I headed to California  where I knew I was going to live since I was 10 years  old.

"In LA, I played in a lot of bands, played the Hollywood clubs, and crossed paths with a lot of other players. After about 12 years of writing, show- casing on the Sunset Strip, 'close call' record deals, and backing-up others who were showcasing (most of whom retired around 1995), I got out when the getting was good.

"In 2000, some friends asked us to put something together (The Bold Weevils) and play a local roadhouse. We packed the place and have been playing ever since. We now have about as much fun as ever playing because the only agenda is to have fun. The interesting thing about playing out here is you never know who will be sitting in with you for the evening...
